I'll go out on a limb and say NO .
68 did have a valve , never seen it on a 440 , but it was not on the vac advance can and was not electric .

"In the day" 70-74, I was envolved in working on many of my and my friends cars, A,B, E body. I've never seen anything earlier than '70 with one of these. My 70 440sixpack came with an iron Prestolite dual point, and did not have the retard, either. A friend had a 70 375hp 440 GTX, which did, as i recalls

The '70 distributor had a retard solenoid incorporated into the vacuum advance which served the same purpose as the "green valve".
